Public Safety Facility Feasibility Study for the City of Eveleth

The City of Eveleth is seeking proposals from qualified consulting firms to conduct a Public Safety Feasibility Facility Study. This study will evaluate the current facilities for the Police, Fire, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and Emergency Operation Center (EOC), identify solutions for deficiencies, and develop conceptual alternatives with cost estimates. The study will also assess the potential integration of these public facilities into a broader City Center or Civic Campus configuration, including coordination with City Hall. The existing Police Department is housed in an undersized and outdated facility. The City Hall, a historic building, lacks an elevator and provides office space for several departments. The Fire Department and EMS share a historic building with inadequate space for equipment and operations. The Auditorium, also historic, serves as the Emergency Operation Center (EOC) during emergencies. The selected consultant will be responsible for project initiation, data review, existing facility and site evaluation, space programming, operational analysis, concept development (including renovation, expansion, or integration options), cost estimation, phasing, and stakeholder engagement. The final deliverables will include a written report, concept diagrams, cost estimates, and phasing considerations. The City may consider continuing the relationship for construction management services post-study.
